In June, I saw lots of wimmins in Paris wearing flat, leather, thong sandals everywhere … even though it was raining and the high temperature was in the low 60s. (I was wearing a trench coat and boots.) I thought, “Damn, these ladies are so excited to wear these sandals they’re risking frostbite!” That interested…
What Wendy Wore: Women’s Jewelry Association Gala
I’m a member of the Women’s Jewelry Association, so I attended the networking group’s 30th annual Awards for Excellence gala last night. Monica Stephenson of idazzle.com — one of June’s Vegas Gems gang — was nominated for an award in the media category. She didn’t win the award, but her outfit was as WINNING as…
Read Me (and Shop the Sale) at Max & Chloe
Jewelery retailer Max & Chloe posted a short interview with me on its Jewelry Dose blog over the weekend. I did the interview months ago and I had no recollection of my answers, so it was an unusually entertaining read for me. I was wondering, “What am I going to say next?” CLICK HERE TO…
The Week in Review
In case you missed anything on the blog this week, here’s what I had. Monday: Dressing to please a man who wears skirts and a welcome to the royal baby. Tuesday: My sixth blogversary and lion jewelry for Leos. Wednesday: 12-anniversary outfit post. Thursday: BarbaraB reminds me of Sophia Loren. Friday: Anthony Weiner and Huma…
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, Dream, Dream, Dream
On Wednesday night, I dreamed Bea Arthur and I became the head designers of Pucci. Then I switched to another, more stressful dream: I was in boarding school and Sharon Stone cast me as the lead in a musical, even though I can’t sing. At least I didn’t dream about chocolate hamburgers. Had any interesting…
Go Away, Anthony Weiner and Huma Abedin!
I took a day off yesterday from reading about crazy New York City mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner and his wife Huma Abedin, but I was forced to acknowledge the freaky couple again this morning while I was reading the New York Times (in print, of course!). Oh! Instead of sexting with just one woman a…
Throwback Thursday: BarbaraB Doing a Sophia Loren Impression
This photo isn’t in very good condition, but I still love it. I believe it’s from the early ’80s. That’s my gorgeous mother, BarbaraB, on the right, and her stylish friend Ursula on the left. BarbaraB doesn’t have a look of disapproval on her face, but something about her expression — plus the angle and…
What Wendy Wore: Dressing to Please a Man, Part II
Because I dressed to make Zang Toi happy on Sunday night, I figured it was only fair to dress in a way that would make MrB happy at our 12th-anniversary dinner on Monday. After all, MrB puts up with a lot more from me than Zang has to. I know MrB is a big fan…
Lion Jewelry for Luxury-Loving Leos
The Leo period of the astrological calendar begins today. You really don’t have to be a Leo to wear my lion-themed jewelry — the pieces weren’t inspired by astrology — but if you ARE a Leo, they’re even more compelling, no? My Eleanor necklace was inspired by Eleanor of Aquitaine, one of the most powerful…
My Sixth Blogversary and a New Huffington Post Story
Time flies when you’re having fun — and even when you’re not having fun! It’s my sixth blogversary today. To celebrate, I will be lazy: Instead of writing a big post here, allow me to direct you to my latest piece on the Huffington Post, featuring a fashion-blogger slideshow. For a while, I was bummed…
